A building formwork component comprising first and second spaced sidewalls having one or more webs extending there-between, each sidewall comprising a flange extending inwardly along a first edge of the sidewall such that an outer surface of the flange forms a ramp surface; and a groove extending along an opposing second edge of the sidewall; wherein the component may be coupled to a like component by relative movement of the components towards each other, whereby the flanges are received in respective grooves of the like component, and whereby the ramp surfaces facilitate such coupling by engaging respective second edges of the like component to move the second edges and/or ramp surfaces for engagement of the flanges in the grooves.

The present subject matter discloses an outdoor storage shed utilizing plastic components or panels. A storage shed structure can comprise foldable corner panels, which pivot at integrated folding grooves to serve as corners. Each leaf of a foldable corner panel can be fitted with a unique coupling mechanism to interact with an additional panel. Furthermore, the storage shed structure can come with pre-constructed shelf grooves in the foldable corner panels. Storage shelves can be slotted into these grooves, thereby boosting the overall stability of the storage shed.

A joining system is provided for connecting first and second building construction members. The system includes a female dog (18) that connects to the first building construction member (14) and includes first and second female dog receiving surfaces (20,22), which face generally away from each other, and are adjacent an aperture (24) defining an axis. The system further includes a male dog (32) that is connectable to the second building construction member (16) and includes first and second male dog clamping surfaces (33,34) which generally face each other. The male dog (32) inserts through the aperture (24) and moves in a first lateral direction to clamp the female dog (18). A locking arrangement (42) includes first and second locking structures (44,46) which engage to permit movement of the male dog (32) in the first lateral direction to increase a clamping force on the female dog (18), and inhibit movement opposite the first lateral direction.

A foam panel is provided, that includes a substrate formed of foamed synthetic resin, a fastening portion having a first end embedded in the substrate and a second end exposed, and a polyurea resin layer covering a surface of the substrate. A prefabricated house includes a plurality of foam panels and is formed by coupling the plurality of foam panels.

An attachment device for securing two component parts together includes a snap tab fastener and a snap tab housing. The snap tab fastener includes a base, a resilient snap tab depending from the base and a four-way locator depending from the base. The snap tab housing includes a first receiver and a second receiver. The snap tab engages the first receiver and the four-way locator engages the second receiver when the snap tab fastener is connected to the snap tab housing.

A building system comprises one or more panels with one or more Z-shaped edges. The panels may connected to each other through interaction of the corresponding shaped edges. In addition, a building component comprises upper and lower surfaces and first and second lateral ends. One or more of the building components may be connected together through engagement of the second lateral end of a first building component with the first lateral end of a second building component. Through this connection, vertical forces on the building components are transferred laterally.

A modular heated surface system which can quickly be assembled from several pieces. The system can be designed to fit sidewalks and driveways of any size and includes durable surfaces for driving vehicles across the platforms. A drain assembly is included to ensure that the water produced from melted ice and snow is properly drained away from the heated surface. The system is powered by plugging the system into a standard 120V outlet.

A modular wall system for use in trade shows includes a wall or header panel formed of frame parts, and a connecting bracket for detachably connecting the end of the panel to an upstanding column. Perpendicular sections of a corner connector are received in the hollow end of different ones of the frame parts to connect the frame parts. A fabric cover defines a recess with an open end adapted to receive the frame parts. A closure device is provided for at least partially closing the open end of the fabric cover. A vertical support member extends from the frame parts to a surface to transmit the weight of an accessory to the surface. The accessory may be an adjustable garment rack, a coupling grid, a shelving unit, or a peg-board unit and a hook. The system includes a crate adapted to receive a plurality of members for transport.

In a snap-in structure of aluminum alloy roof, roof panel, and corner-connecting materials, a roof panel's splicing base is connected with a splicing depression bar and secured by screws. Meanwhile, its bulge is connected with a snap-in groove, and its clasp is hooked with the clasp on the support section. A roof's splicing base is connected with a splicing depression bar and secured by screws. At the same time, its bulge is connected with a snap-in groove. The first corner-connecting material has an acute angle shape. Its transverse splicing base is engaged with the roof panel's splicing depression bar, and its longitudinal splicing base is engaged with the roof's splicing depression bar. The second corner-connecting material's splicing depression bar is attached with a roof panel's splicing base. A combination of the insert spell buckle and screws fixes without using any sealing materials. It is waterproof and easy to install. It is primarily applied to install at an aluminum alloy house's wall and roof.

A building structure comprising a main steel frame structure 3 and roof 41, wall 74, window and door portions 137, 166, 142, 152 directly or indirectly attachable to the main structural support and are configured, in use, to combine to form a thermally insulative barrier 34, 37, 21 between the interior of the building and the external atmosphere, the barrier also acting to at least partially inhibit travel of air therebetween.
